[JAVA] Generating a pdf file and saving it in oracle database, the retrieve


Question

Hello,

I have the following task:

1- Generate a pdf file in java using a certain library (probably i-text).

2- Save the generated file to a database

3- Retrieving an already saved file from the database and sending it to a client via HTTP.

I have the following questions:

1- Is it possible to save the generated file in the database (in a BLOB) directly WITHOUT physically creating it?'

2- Is it possible to read the file from database and send it to the user as object, without saving it physically on the server?

I know we can save them in a temporary directoty but i prefer not to have anything physical.

Currently i can do save a PHYSICAL file in DB, and retrieve a blob column into a PHYSICAL file from DB.

thank u in advance

    • Clear Linux is open source, indeed, so its source code is available for anyone. They're just shutting down its support from them, they're not forbidding anyone else from taking over.
    • Linux Mint is also my favorite distro, but I fear what will happen with it if Clem were to disappear tomorrow, to be honest.
    • Yeah, I totally get your point, which is possible it could happen. I just hope there is a few people around him who are similar to where if they took over things would run pretty much the same. if not, then yeah, it could start to decline rapidly etc. but I figure something that's been around for a longer period of time with a decent backing, and probably more users than most Linux distro's (which I would 'imagine' Mint is one of the more used Linux desktop distro's by volume of people who use it), is less likely to just disappear. but like you said, nothing is guaranteed. but I do think you are probably right in that Clem is probably the core of what keeps Mint, Mint. I like how it tends to stay pretty much the same with some slight tweaks here and there (but is largely the same) instead of that crap some people go for with change for the sake of change trying to create a overly fancy interface and other unnecessary stuff etc. I also feel Mint keeps a nice balance of things out-of-the-box where it's not too bloated, nor too striped down. p.s. but I see Mint as a better Ubuntu basically. but I get your point like if it was more of a really serious choice of needing a 'safe bet' to use long term, then yeah something like official Ubuntu would be one of the better choices for sure given what you said with it being backed by an actual company which makes it a safer bet than Mint which is smaller and 'could' potentially be more fragile.
    • It’s in development so hopefully it’s improved upon before release.
    • For the 10th iteration they could have bothered with some design changes rather than just carrying over the 9's
